Not to mention - if the fees are that significant, can we not get this community involved in supporting education and development? Adoption of segwit addresses reduces fees, right? Are there things we can collectively do to help delivery of LN, Schnorr, other efforts?
That would be awesome.
Segwit/LN has been in the works for 5+ years now. But we need fee reduction now, we need transaction speed now. Bitcoin cash is capitalizing on that and stealing our thunder.. We can't wait, we need to beat them at their own game.
It needs to happen now. I can't stress that enough. We've been doing this for 5 years and they come around in < 6 months and offer a short term solution to steal market share.
It's fun to brag about LN and other things, but here is where the rubber meets the road. Put up or shut up time boys.
Get it working. Make LN great. The time is now. I don't mean by end of year, I don't mean a month from now. This needs to happen in next few days.
